Difficult situation to be in. Was there finals on the line or something? Unless I'm misreading, it seems all a little too serious.
Last week, we played a carnival of 4 games. We went there expecting to struggle in each. It turned out that we won two of the games, drew one and only got beaten by Burleigh 2 tries to one in the last game which was stopped early after one of our fellas succumbed to a brutal, late and very high hit. Numerous parents from Burleigh were laughing and one of ours said to not be so gross and to have some respect for an injured 10 year old. Well, things went south pretty quickly and 3 bushpigs were threatening our parents with violence. It was bloody awful apparently. I was fortunate enough to not witness all of the events as we pretty much left straight away not expecting things to get as out of hand as they did. Our mums had to be escorted to their cars and drove out behind locked doors. Some people are (insert swearing here) appalling.
My young fella has his last game today against the Nerang Rorters. Probably going to be too strong, but we've had a great season with a whole bunch of learning gone on. Young Rusty has been given the role as first receiver and has loved being so involved. Our boys have a special mate that gets to play today for the last 10 minutes or so today. I think there's gonna be quite a few aching hearts seeing him pull on the jersey and run to hopefully even score. The support kids show for others is amazing at times. Makes you proud - real proud.
